Chapter 77 Accident.

After Mrs. Raffield left, Smellian turned around and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest, and saw Grace standing not far away.

It was unknown when the other party appeared here, but it was obvious that he was waiting for him.

Smellian paused and walked over: "Looking for me?"

Grace looked him in the eye. "You should feel that Xia Xia is different from other female masters. She doesn't mind our identities and is very considerate of us. She's not afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean she doesn't mind it. I hope your conflict with the Rafaeld family won't involve her."

"Today was an accident, but I really didn't handle it well. I will pay attention. Thanks for the reminder." Smellian didn't think that Grace's appearance here was a provocation to him.

He didn't know how many times he had reminded himself of this in his heart.

The other party was able to talk to him alone about this matter at this time, one reason being that he didn't want his affairs to affect Lu Xia, and the other reason being that he was one of Duke Lu Xia's servants.

If it had nothing to do with this family, he knew very well that Grace would never come to tell him this.

And if Lu Xia hadn't been indifferent to Mrs. Raphaelde's uninvited visit tonight, any other female master would have given him trouble afterwards. It was indeed because he had failed to control his family well.

Besides, tonight is a party that Duke Lu Xia is hosting for his friends to celebrate Grace's promotion to major general.

Fortunately, the atmosphere was not ruined by him and the Rafaeld family.

"I'm glad you understand." Grace saw that he had taken her words to heart, so she turned and left without saying anything more.

Watching Grace leave, Smelian couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

On the way back with Prince Li Mang, Duke Leslie couldn't help but say, "Duke Lu Xia probably didn't invite Lady Raphaelde tonight."

Prince Li Mang nodded and said, "She probably wasn't invited. I saw she was quite surprised when the housekeeper told her. Madam Rafaeld must have come here on her own. She might not even know there was a party tonight."

"Could it be that she thinks that Duke Lu Xia is too good to our Grace, so she comes here specially to fight for her son Xiongzi?" Duke Leslie couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, everyone knows that the males in the Rafaeld family are good-looking.

Very popular among the females of the empire.

What if Duke Luxia really abandons Grace and starts favoring Smellian?
Seeing her nervous expression, Prince Li Mang couldn't help but say, "Don't worry. Lu Xia is obviously fair and square. The situation you're thinking of won't happen. No matter what Mrs. Rafaeld's attitude is, Lu Xia won't be influenced by her."

The fact that Lu Xia was able to accomplish such a career independently was enough to prove that she was not that kind of confused female.

"I hope so, but my Grace has become outstanding now." In fact, she still hoped that Lu Xia could promote Grace to the position of head husband. In this way, no matter how many people appeared around Duke Lu Xia in the future, at least their Leslie family could stand firm.

"What you need to do now is not to do unnecessary things. Let nature take its course, and the results will be good. Lu Xia may seem approachable, but she absolutely does not like others interfering in her family affairs."

Duke Leslie knew that this was Prince Li Mang's suggestion to her, and nodded: "I know, I won't do anything."

Now Duke Lu Xia has caught the eye of Lady Dina of the royal family. He is so busy thinking about how to make friends with her that he would never do anything unpleasant.

I don’t know what Duke Leslie was thinking. After everyone left, Lu Xia returned to his room and looked through his work schedule for the recent period.

In less than a month, the baby in her belly would be born. She had to make arrangements before then. To avoid any accidents, she had to leave some time for a while just in case. The delivery room had already been set up, and it was in Duke Lu Xia's mansion.

At that time, Dr. Eugene will move in first as a family doctor and prepare for the visit.

As for how to explain it to the outside world after the child is born, it is much simpler.

Although the Fertility Research Institute is an authoritative institution in the empire, it is not the only institution that can carry out reproduction.

The breeding technology is not the patent of the Fertility Research Institute. In today's empire, this technology no longer has any technical difficulties. It's just that everyone recognizes the Fertility Research Institute more.

As the due date approached, Lu Xia began to reduce her outings and social activities. In order to be with her during the birth, Grace specially switched cruise times with others and changed two shifts in advance.

This way, I can free up a week to stay with Lu Xia and take care of her more conveniently.

So during this period, Grace was much busier than usual.

Early this morning, Grace boarded the cruise ship and began a three-day cruise.

Maybe it's because Lu Xia's due date is approaching, but Grace has been feeling inexplicably nervous lately. She usually doesn't talk much, but now she seems to be a chatterbox.

Before leaving in the morning, he did not forget to give some instructions to the old butler and Smelian, asking them to take good care of Lu Xia and wait for his return.

The family has also paid special attention to Lu Xia's affairs recently.

Lu Xia felt that she was now a rare protected animal and her whole family was on high alert, but as the person involved, she didn't feel like she was going to give birth at all.

Eat when you should and sleep when you should, and you will be healthy and have no problems.

However, this peaceful life was disrupted by one incident. The main material for making the No. 1 Courtyard Beauty Cream was detained at the Victoria Star Port, and the person in charge was required to go through the approval procedures before it would be released.

After Smelian learned about this, he took the initiative to contact Mrs. Rafaeld. Although Lu Xia's batch of goods was not transported using the Rafaeld family's shipping routes, the Rafaeld family, which started out in the transportation industry, still had a network of relationships that could be used to investigate this matter.

After learning that this batch of raw materials was seized because it contained contraband, the person in charge had to be present in person to certify it before it could be released.

It was at this time that Smelian originally wanted Mrs. Raphaelde to use her connections to resolve the matter, but was rejected by Lu Xia.

Because she knew very well that if she really used the relationship of the Rafaeld family to solve this matter, she would inevitably owe a lot of favors, and her future interactions with the Rafaeld family would become very passive.

The last thing she wanted to do in her life was to be controlled by others.

So she planned to go there in person. If everything went well, two days would be enough. After all, the distance from Imperial Star to Victoria Starport was not far.

It only takes a few hours to travel by starship.

"Help me book the ticket, butler." Lu Xia said to the old butler after reading the approval process. Smellian beside him hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."
